Introduction: Grahani Roga is a common gastrointestinal disorder described in Ayurveda, mainly caused by Mandagni leading to improper digestion and malabsorption. Clinically, it resembles malabsorption syndrome and chronic functional bowel disorders. Panchamruta Parpati Kalpana, a unique Rasashastra formulation, is traditionally due to its Deepana, Pachana and Grahi properties. Methods: A 38-year-old male patient suffering from chronic Grahani symptoms such as frequent loose stools, undigested food in stool, anorexia, abdominal bloating, weight loss and weakness since 2 years was treated with Panchamruta Parpati 125 mg twice daily with Takra as Anupana for 45 days. Hingwashtak Churna and Bilva Avaleha were used as adjuvant medicines. Assessment was done based on subjective and objective parameters before and after treatment. Results: After 45 days of treatment, significant improvement was observed in bowel habits, appetite, bloating, weakness and body weight. Stool frequency reduced from 3-4 times/day to 1-2 times/day and body weight increased from 58 kg to 61 kg. No adverse effects were observed. Discussion: Panchamruta Parpati acts by improving Agni, digesting Ama and enhancing intestinal absorption. The Parpati Kalpana makes the formulation potent even in small doses and Takra further supports gut health. Conclusion: Panchamruta Parpati Kalpana can be an effective and safe therapeutic option in chronic Grahani Roga (malabsorption syndrome).
